🏃‍♀️| ‘Existential questions’: is this the beginning of the end of the Commonwealth Games? Aside from the viability of the 2026 event, Victoria pulling out of hosting the event raises the broader question of whether the Commonwealth Games will survive: deakin.au/3XVbTKg @DamienWhitburn @HunterFujak

@HunterFujak Yep. Need to get on that at some stage. Good to see traction in media, makes it an easier sell.

@DrSarahWymer @footyindustryAU Great work on this. Very interesting. Can definitely use this for some of our research.

@footyindustryAU @DamienWhitburn Take a look! could feed into some of our research planning 👀

Facebook, Twitter and Instagram numbers taken from respective club pages over the last hour or so. Data available here, include the attendance and member data from earlier. TV ratings info later tonight. docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…

@BobHeere As discussed Bob, you’re continuing to conflate a measure of publication quantity with those who have ‘contributed most to the field’. Many impactful scholars/areas ignored. Not everyone will attend @NASSM, so public debate on this is important, especially for junior colleagues.

Dr. Heere - I appreciate this response and I want to say your feelings & defending your teams ranking are valid. At the same time, this response misses the point that many ppl made. I’m only speaking for myself and how I have interpreted everything. Here is my feedback

Lol at sports management folks trying to rank *individual* scholars based on publications in three journals. If you’re an academic just don’t do this. It’s never a good look. sportsinnovationproject.com/productivity-r…

@Josh_McLeod1 Don't get sunburnt mate.

My annual leave starting in Byron Bay. I’ve been in worse places!

With the sports grants scandal dragging on into its third week, 7.30's satirist @markhumphries and his co-writer @evanwilliams felt there was a gap in the market for a new kind of sports show. #abc730 #satire #WideWorldOfRorts

@KimEncel @DeakinBusiness @MikeNaraine No osteoporosis on LB5!

Behold, the world famous @DeakinBusiness milk fridge! Apparently the milk is to thank for the recent publishing success of @MikeNaraine and @DamienWhitburn.

Welcome @DeakinBusiness sport management alumni, students and practicum hosts to the second networking event for 2019! We look forward to hearing from Kevin Sheehan OAM about his experience as a pioneer in AFL football and sport development #DeakinSport

Deakin alumni Justin @VumeroSports finishes off a great day with student insights on embarking on a career in sport. Volunteer, network and try everything were key points. @DeakinBusiness

Louise & Jonathon from @GeelongCats with a great chat on workplace experiences at the @DeakinBusiness Sport Management careers expo.

This baby rhino doesn't care who wins the. #SuperBowl. She just wants her mama back. But she's not coming back. Her horn is being made into an ornament or a medicinal pill. RT to show everyone how evil #trophyhunting is.

This is absolutely beautiful. @Nike does it again ❤️

@MikeNaraine I am not sure how but we will find a way.

@DamienWhitburn Take your wooden spoon 🥄

@MikeNaraine Ouch. We will probably lose that also!

@AmieMartin95 Unfortunately timely. Hopefully discussion in media moves from AFL v soccer fans or segregation of supporters to addressing the cultural issues leading to this behavior and providing positive discussion to change it. #mms711 @AmieMartin95
